No internet, day to day.
Day-to-day processing does not depend on an outside AI service. Questions are answered on the box, from material on the box or on your network. A connected box gets updates over a connection. The other things that can cross the wall are the ones you choose: a support session your admin opens, a cloud-hosted source, or a cloud identity provider for sign-in. Availability is measured for each installation under the support terms you agree.
What crosses the wall, and when.
SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive
Only if you connect one. You decide which, and how often it is read over a connection to that service.
Support and updates
Exalt support connects only when your admin opens access, and every session is logged. On a connected box, updates are applied during those sessions. If the box runs air-gapped, how updates reach it is agreed for your deployment.
Sign-in, if you use a cloud identity provider
At sign-in, through single sign-on. It needs a connection to that provider.
Stays inside
- Questions and answers are processed on the box, not sent to an outside AI service.
- Documents uploaded to the box are stored on it.
- Sources on your network, such as file shares, databases and business systems, are read in place as often as you set.
- Sign-in through a directory on your network stays on your network.
- Stored documents, the index, conversation history and the audit log are encrypted at rest. History is kept as long as your retention settings say.
